it depends on the rider and the ride. i prefer to ride in the drops on my road bike when i'm grinding into headwind, sprinting, descending, and just trying to go fast. i ride in the hoods most of the rest of the time. i'll ride in the tops for long climbs.

on my cyclo-cross bike, i ride in the drops about 80 per cent of the time.
